The early CAB ice loss is impressive. Given the high Arctic temperature drop the
DMI graph indicates, I wonder if this ice loss will continue. Other years lost more ice in the CAB after this date than before it, and if this ratio continues, CAB ice loss will be greater than 2007's. So for me, there remains a great big question mark!
?I believe, Seumas, that the image you labeled "cab-2016-07-21" is actually from 2016-7-20 (although I'm sure you copied it today). (In another ASI Forum thread, there was much todo about taking the time to accurately reference our screen shots.)
